me and my friend are working on something similar. We prefer to call it a drone though :$
My friend was looking into the material strength and feasibility while I was looking into the software.
We intend to use a 3d printer to build a small scale model and progressively keep making it bigger.
We would love to collaborate if that's ok with you.
Based in Canada (Toronto) and we put ~10 hrs/week max on this project.

- skanga 10y agoTerrafugia is awesome. They have tremendous respect from me. But I dislike any type of folding wings. They will need to make a massively strong hinge/joint for this type of machine since the entire car hangs off that hinge. This makes is heavy, inefficient, painful to maintain, vulnerable in fender benders, etc, etc.
- skanga 10y agoSounds good to me - call it what you like. Perhaps we can start a conversation. I'm skanga at google's email thingy.
